The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

"Oh no, their men might have discovered it."

After hearing what Desmond had said, Haniya quickly said, "Let's go, Madam, I'm fine."

"Are you really okay?"

Mango didn't want something to happen to Haniya after this.

"Yea, I'm really fine."

Mango finally felt relieved after she saw Haniya jump up and down a few times.

"Let's go!"

Desmond drove away quickly after Mango and Haniya got onto the car. It wasn't long after a commotion took place in the KFC nearby, but these were no longer under Mango's supervision.

The car drove far away and Haniya felt a little uneasy. She moved her hips from side to side and Mango immediately noticed this situation.

"Are you injured?"

"No, I..."

Before Haniya could finish her words, she let out a muffled groan as if she was in great pain.

"Desmond, go to the hospital."

Desmond frowned a little just as Mango finished speaking.

"Madam, there are too many people at the hospital. What if Sophia takes the opportunity to escape...'

"

"Right, right, don't worry about me. I can stand the pain."

Although Haniya had said so, her face was already sweating.

Mango knew that she must be injured somewhere.

Mango came up with an idea as she looked at Sophia beside her, who was still unconscious.

"Desmond, drive to the police station first."

Desmond nodded his head after he heard what Mango had said.

They drove the car to the police station nearby. Mango saw that there were a few cars around them that didn't seem to be quite right. She hurriedly said, "Don't stop, let's go straight ahead." "Aren't we going to the police station?"

Desmond was a little confused.

Mango said in a low voice, "Look at the cars next to us. There are people inside. Although they're well hidden, the cigarette butts at the entrance of the car are still burning, indicating that they're all sitting inside. Who would sit at the entrance of a police station? I'm afraid they're coming for us."

Desmond was stunned and he found out that what Mango said was true when he looked closely.

Sophia woke up at this moment.

She struggled for a moment before she wanted to open her mouth to speak. However, she was knocked down by Mango once again.

Haniya couldn't help but pause for a moment when she saw Mango's quick and agile movements. She couldn't tell that such a weak and delicate lady like Mango was actually so skilled.

"Bear with it a little longer, or we'll send you to the hospital first."

Haniya shook her head upon Mango's words.

"Since there are people waiting for us here, who knows if there are people at the hospital as well?"

Mango was stunned by these words.

That was right!

Sophia's identity wasn't simple. Although Mango didn't know why those people would listen to Sophia, she didn't dare to take the risk.

Nathaniel and Brantley had set such a big trap to capture Sophia, so Mango couldn't ruin their plans.

Mango was at a loss for what to do.

Toby gave a call at this moment.

"Ms. Sun, where are you? Are you all alright?"

Mango immediately let out a sigh of relief.

"We're fine. We've landed safely and tied Sophia up. Where are you?"

"I'll be right there. I just arrived at the airport."

Toby might have arrived by the latest flight.

"I saw that you were taken away. I couldn't save you at that time because I was afraid they would notice something. How did you escape?"

"Mr. Ye saved me."

Toby whispered, "Mr. Ye followed Sir's attention to release Isla. Then, Isla contacted Sophia after she was released. Both Mr. Ye and Mr. Xiao were shocked at that time because they didn't expect that the person behind the scenes to be Sophia. Mr. Ye said he saw Sophia by the gate of the military compound and she was taken away by you when he wanted to collect the evidence. He wanted to catch up with her, but he was afraid that Sophia would hurt you when she found out. He was more worried that you would be used by her because of your family affection. Mr. Ye was anxious all the way, but he didn't dare to make any moves. He didn't act until he saw that I was kidnapped by their people. I guess Mr. Ye is still worried for your safety and he did not dare to take any actions until now."

Mango immediately felt at ease when she heard what Toby had said.

"Is he alright?"

"Yeah! Mr. Ye is fine."

Mango nodded and said in a low voice, "Send my mother's address to me. I'll go to her place."

Toby was stunned all of a sudden.

"Ms. Sun, I don't think Miss will see you."

"Give me the address. I won't know until I go there."

Mango's attitude was resolute, so Toby didn't stop her anymore and directly sent the address over.

Mango passed the address to Desmond. "Follow this address. Haniya, hold on a little longer." "Alright."

The car quickly arrived at the address.

Mango couldn't help but tear up when she saw this place.

She once chased Bettany to this place, but she had lost the latter here. Would she be able to meet her mother earlier if she went in deeper that time?

Mango's eyes became a little moist.

"Wait here. I'll go in and have a look. Desmond, keep an eye on Sophia." "Alright."

Desmond turned off the engine of the car.

Mango stopped at the entrance of a residential building after she got down from the car.

This place looked very normal from the surface. However, Mango knew that the person who lived inside was her mother.

Mango felt a little nervous, but she still took a deep breath and raised her hand to knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

Bettany's familiar voice came to Mango's ears, and Mango got extremely excited by that.

Bettany opened the door with a creaking sound and she was completely stunned when she saw Mango. She wanted to close the door subconsciously, but Mango immediately stretched out a leg and stopped her. Mango's foot would be injured if Bettany were to close the door.

"What are you doing?"

Bettany's forehead and brows were tightly furrowed.

"I want to see my mom."

Mango said it in a straightforward manner.

Bettany, however, said coldly, "I don't understand what you're talking about. Hurry up and get out. I have to close the door, and I don't care if you get hurt."

"Then you'd better break my foot."

Bettany was furious with Mango's actions.

"Mrs. Ye, is it un to do this? You clearly said that you wouldn't want to be too close to me when I went to Estania to find you. What's wrong with you now? Are you coming to play rogue here?" "Whatever. I still want to see my mother, so don't reject me so quickly. Listen to me, there's a patient in my car that needs your treatment and there's still one more person that my mother might want to meet." The more Mango spoke, the more Bettany's brows creased.

"Mrs. Ye, you're asking for too much."

"Yes, I know, but I have the right to do that."

Mango was smiling a little wickedly, which made Bettany feel somewhat annoyed.

"How did you become so shameless now?"

"There's no other way. People have to learn to adapt to different situations. Besides, I'm pregnant. I have to tell my mom about this good news no matter what. Hurry up and let me in."

"No way!"

"Bettany, do you want me to ask Wisdom to open the door for you?"

Mango's words seemed to have hit Bettany's weak spot. She was stunned for a moment before she said coldly, "You're despicable."

"Well, thanks for your compliment!"

Mango opened the door and heard Bettany say, "I can let you in, but I don't know if she will meet you."

Mango's words caused Mango's footsteps to pause.

Bettany continued, "I believe Brantley has told you everything since you managed to find us. Do you think she will see you since you already know about everything? Isn't it a waste of time for you to come here?"

"No."

Mango clenched her fists before walking inside.

She saw Queena sitting on the balcony from a distance and she felt like crying looking at her mother's thin figure.

"Mom..."

Mango didn't dare to make a loud noise as she was afraid that Queena would be scared. However, Queena didn't respond at all, and Mango didn't know whether it was because she didn't hear it. She walked over quietly, only to find that Queena had fallen asleep.

Mango's tears finally fell involuntarily when she looked at Queena from a close distance.

Her eyes had sunken in and her face was so pale that it didn't seem to have any colour. Her hair had fallen, and it couldn't hide how ill she looked even though she was wearing a loose hat. Queena had always been a slender lady, and she was practically a bag of bones now.

Mango still remembered how energetic Queena had been when she left. How did she become like this after a few months?

"Mom..."

Mango suddenly choked with sobs.

She knelt in front of Queena and held her hand tightly.

Her hands were so cold.

Mango's tears fell on the back of Queena's hand, which made Queena suddenly open her eyes.

She thought that she was dreaming when she saw Mango.

"Mango?"

"Mom, you're awake? How are you? Do you feel any discomfort?"

Mango asked in a hurry. The worry in her eyes made Queena react quickly.

"Why are you here? You..."

"Mom, don't hide. I know everything. I saw Grandpa too. I came specially to find you! Mom, can you go back with me?"

Mango burst into tears.

What Queena did not want to see the most was this. She had never done anything for Mango in her life. What qualifications did she have to let her daughter serve her when she was seriously ill? "Your grandfather has been a tough guy his whole life. He's getting old, but why does he like to spread out news to everyone?"

Queena sighed. She wanted to pull her hand back, but she couldn't.

Mango cried and said, "Mom, how can you do this? Why didn't you tell me when you're already this sick? Do you plan to die quietly like this and make me feel guilty for the rest of my life? How could you do this? You abandoned me and you did not care about me when I was young. You're still thinking of abandoning me during the final moments of your life. What else can you do besides abandoning me for the rest of your life?"

Queena's eyes also started to tear up when she heard Mango's complaint.

"I just don't want you to see me like this. I'm barely living now. I thought about finding a place to die alone, but your grandfather is really irritating."

"Mom, what are you talking about? What should I do if you die? How can you make up for what you have done to me in this life? I am pregnant now, and I'm going to be a mother again. How can you bear to make me sad?"

Mango knew Queena's weak points. Queena was shocked instantly when Mango cried as she said this.

"What? You're pregnant? Then why are you still kneeling? Hurry up and get up!"

Queena hurriedly went to pull Mango up, but Mango grabbed her hand and said, "Mom, there's something that you have to promise me, or else I won't get up."
